One million, one night...Would you rather...

@PortlyNail those people should have thought about safety and wrapping it up. Why purposely bring a child into a cycle of poverty and neglect/ abuse. Generational poverty/trauma is a thing. It's disgusting these parents that can't provide for their kids keep having them and everyone else has to care for them. Instead of helping them, tell them to wrap it up next time so they learn and stop giving birth.

@AkinTill coming from a person who works with poor minorities, who are the majority subject to reproductive issues, I've helped many moms, who really want to keep their kids but thought they couldn't because of money, health care, etc. Not everyone WANTS to get an abortion, is all I'm saying, and we should try to provide help for those people.

I read this wrong and clicked No- yes it should be legal, it’s healthcare

No, people get raped at a young age and there body will literally collapse if they give birth. Or maybe u have a really bad and dangerous life and don’t want the baby to have trauma or be killed. It isn’t killing because they haven’t even developed there full body inside the mothers body yet.

Instead of the political nonsense, how about actually helping women who need abortions by providing them with the tools to have their babies safely and pay for their medical expenses or even adoption bills?

@PortlyNail you think the government wants more people being a burden on the system? The government doesn't wanna raise your kids, that's why they go after men who abandon kids with child support. Allowing people and their private doctor to make the decision to give birth or not is the best thing cause then people who don't want to be and shouldn't be parents, won't be having others pay for their crotch goblins. There's kids in the system now that are barely cared for, neglected and abused sexually and physically that the government can't care for. You wanna add more to that?

@c9ldasksshit With parental consent, but by what you've said about your parents, fat chance. Especially because you'll have to be emancipated (or something similar) and probably go to court. It's more work than it's worth. You've only got three more years to go anyways

@Theios_Babygorl when you were 8 tho? An 8 year old doing that isn’t normal.

@Artemis865 not if I get permission.

541d ago Reply

@Artemis865 ok I hate to be mean but how is being abused better than just leaving my parents are way to poor to go to court and they have tried to kick me out before. They don’t want me here.

541d ago Reply

@c9ldasksshit I understand better than anyone else on here probably and I'm saying it is better to stay from someone who stayed. I was the same age as you when I thought about this. In the long run, it's better to get laughed at than be homeless or feel guilty for living with a friend. Or even worse, your friend's mom decides to kick you out after a time. It's just easier to stay. At 18, you'll be gone and can do whatever you want with your life, but for now you've gotta give your parents nothing to laugh at and don't engage with them.

@c9ldasksshit There is no normal age to want to kill yourself because wanting to kill yourself isn't normal

What's mental abuse? Can you provide more context?

541d ago Reply

@JusJames neglect mostly.

541d ago Reply

@c9ldasksshit ok. We'll see if that's the case --firstly, if your parents agree to let you move out and your friends mom place is a better environment, have at it. That being said, a lot of teens/young adults go through similar trials, parents not giving enough attention or showing any interest. Its shouldn't --but it's a natural thing that happens in a lot of families. I think the best thing to do imo is talk to a guidance counselor and see what they suggest. Regardless of what happens I hope you take care of your mental health and inner self. 🙏🏾

@Gonnfreaks No… I’m a regular girl with regular brown hair who believes in practicing respect and kindness even over the internet. I believe in not being hateful. I have plenty of discussions I could provide about todays generation and in my free time I write essays in critique of how things are nowadays and how they can be improved. It’s something I am passionate about, actually. But I do that in a formal setting, when the discussion is already about politics and social ethics. Not when someone is simply seeking support online. I know when to insert my opinions and when to handle situations with care. Abuse is a situation to be handled with care.

541d ago Reply

Definitely see if you can move out! You never wanna be in that position to be abused

541d ago Reply

@Gonnfreaks And thats bad on your part. I dont care what your outlook is on todays society, it doesnt give you the right to jump to conclusions when you dont know someone, ESPECIALLY when theyre clearly distressed and searching for help. You can have your opinions, but its just a sign of nastiness for you to go on a tangent about “kids these days” when someone is talking about a topic as serious as being abused. As I mentioned before, it’s one thing to ask for details in a respectful manner and a whole other to be hateful to someone while doing so.

541d ago Reply

@Artemis865 Yuh, I agree. This just sounds like regular stuff most teens go through. My parents did the same shit as op and it's just better to stay

541d ago Reply

@Gonnfreaks The fact that you immediately made assumptions and jumped to invalidating them is… gross tbh. Imagine if you were being abused, tried to find support about it and were told “well you sound like you’re probably just throwing a tantrum and not being abused”… people dont owe you context, people dont owe you their story. if you have advice to give, give it, and if it applies to them, they can make the judgement to take it or not. Not your job to invalidate. And before you say “I was just asking for more details”, you can do that politely without being a dick.

541d ago Reply

@Artemis865 I shouldn’t have said what I deleted. But you don’t understand. I can’t be here.

541d ago Reply

@Gonnfreaks Again with the assumptions… you must’ve not comprehended it when I said I write essays about todays society. Mainly about the flaws of leftist views, mainstream media propaganda globally and nationally and the effects of things like social media, pornography, activism, etc, particularly on the minds of teenagers. I am a person with right leaning, decently conservative political views. I am nothing like you described. Which proves my point of why you should check yourself before jumping to conclusions. Have a blessed day.

@c9ldasksshit My mum beat me, emotionally, and mentally abused me. I still stayed because I had nowhere to go and if I did find somewhere, she would've hunted me down. Trust me, just stay out of their way and give them no fuel. It's only three more years; it goes by quick

541d ago Reply

@Gonnfreaks also about his mom she’s a really nice person who got me into God and the Bible she even got me to go to church. She’s not a leftist at all. And she’s just mad and worried about it. And again I have examples of all of this. I’m not sure I would make it a public comment but if you want to take it to dms I would be willing to.

541d ago Reply

@Gonnfreaks I’m not trans or nothing like that lol. My parents actively try to take away my friends and all communication with them. I also have never heard Im proud of you or even I love you very much. My parents make fun of me for anything new I try. They make fun of me for my hair when I changed it to something different and made fun of me for wanting to paint my nails(not in a gay trans way but I just like the emo aesthetic type stuff so I wanted to try it) I can give way more examples on top of those.

Three days in a row. And after that pretty much every year I tried or thought about it. I’m not stable enough to be here.

Down to private chat? I got a question

541d ago Reply

@c9ldasksshit I've had, oh jeez, probably over 10-20ish attempts and was almost admitted 2x. Still I'd say staying is better than being homeless. I'd rather get called a demon daily than be out in the snow. Plus, I can guarantee that you legally won't be able to leave if you can't prove to a court that you should be emancipated.

541d ago Reply

@Gonnfreaks Im not defending the people you’re talking about, I’m defending some poor kid who came online to ask for advice on being in an abusive situation who was met with kindergarten-level hatefulness. Someone needs to be retaught not to judge a book by its cover. Not being ignorant and trying to be a decent person online doesn’t make me woke or bitter. I hate people who are jerks behind a screen. I strive not to be. It’s very easy not to assume things about people and even easier not to add dickish comments to things.

541d ago Reply

@Gonnfreaks You explained, yes, and I explained why that logic is flawed and turns you into a dick when it seems your true goal is simply to wade through the bs and come out a better person. You speak of other people having flaws, but refuse to address your own… We may have similar opinions on certain topics, but we simply are not similar people. Now, as I said before, you have yourself a blessed day.

@Galegoblin no he said that to me but idk of he likes me or not?! 😭

546d ago Reply

As a woman I always recommend the direct approach. Be a gentleman and be honest. Don't make her feel pressured to choose you but be very clear about your feelings and your intentions and if she feels the same way she will not be able to not tell you at that point. You know unless you're dating a lying manipulator and then she's going to tell you whatever gets her what she wants. Honestly the same approach goes for girls who like guys as well.

545d ago Reply

just be honest I think that's best

546d ago Reply

Tell her straight up. If you don't she's gonna think you want a friend ship, and then you'll be complaining about being friend zoned. If you like someone, tell them and see where it goes.

Subtle flirting. If that doesn't work, just tell her. The worst that can happen is she says no

@Winterlilly gotcha that makes more sense lmaooo, he probably likes you. Do you like him back ? If you like him back then ask him how he'd feel about dating, and if you don't like him back, be upfront about just wanting friendship and nothing more

My favorite aspect of my personality was actually developed as a defense mechanism when getting bullied for being overweight as a child. I have a dazzling sense of humor if I do say so myself. I only acquired it because very young I realized that if they are laughing with you they are not laughing at you. Of course now I just use it to amuse myself. LOL
